My Applied Learning Project
I organized a yoga fundraiser event for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. In order to accomplish this I spent time seeking donations, acquiring a space and finding an instructor.
I have always been interested in the medical field, but before my sister was diagnosed with Crohn's disease I had never considered the work of a nonprofit organization, like the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. I have spent much time volunteering at hospitals, but I had never volunteered with a nonprofit before. When I learned about Applied Learning Project I immediately knew I wanted to enroll in the course. It has been a great opportunity for me to help find a cure for my sister's disease while also getting more closely involved with the organization.
